Popeye Hummus

OMG-This is a recipe to die for. Extremely tasty and healthier version of normal hummus. I added goodness of spinach to normal hummus, thence the name 😛 Mum made me watch Popeye and that’s how I got into eating spinach 🙂

My husband who is not a big hummus eater loved this. We emptied the container in a day 😀

You need:

Baby Spinach-2 handfuls

Chickpeas-1 can washed,rinsed and drained

Tahini-1.5 Tbsp

Dry roasted cumin seeds-crushed in mortar and pestle-1/4 tsp

Garlic-1 clove

Lemon Juice-to taste

Salt-to taste

Method:

Take the spinach-in it goes into a pan, sprinkle some water and let it wilt until there is no more moisture in the pan. Let it cool.

Into a blender, throw the tahini paste, crushed cumin seeds, garlic, lemon juice and pulse until smooth-hummus tastes better if you do this first

Add Chickpeas and Spinach in and blend until smooth

Add tbsp of water at a time to ease the process until the hummus is smooth

What a wonderfully healthy and delicious hummus you have brought for us tonight! I am a huge fan of hummus and love trying many different versions of it. Yours is definitely next on my list. Thanks so much for bringing this to FF! 😀
